A thing to understand about me is that I'm a little obsessed with him

So tired of everything on the internet being so black and white.
I've seen a lot of people make the point that there have always been queer characters on 911, so it has always been 'the gay firefighter show' and that is absolutely true. Hen and Karen, Michael and David, Josh - they should all be recognized and celebrated. But then I see some of those same people turn around and claim that because of this, Buck coming out as bi is not special or revolutionary, and like. It absolutely is. First of all, bi (and especially male bi) characters are rare. What's even rarer is a character being 'straight' initially and then coming out later - most of the time, tv shows refuse to follow the natural story progression or admit that a character, who was conceptualized as straight initially, could actually have grown into something else. I can count instances like that on one hand.
Multiple things can be true at the same time, folks!

Fyi I'm responding to @icecreampotluck 's reply on one of my posts and I didn't want to hide my response in the comments.
I sort of get that, and you can be mad at that all you want, but that's not the reason. Also that's not what I asked. See the main word I used in my post was "SUDDENLY"
"Why are people "SUDDENLY" getting upset"
If this was a problem people actually cared about, we would've seen it way sooner. Just look at how people have reacted to how the show's dealt with certain LGBT+ themes;
Some of the ways Athena was treating/acting towards Michael in season one, having Hen cheat on her wife with her ex, Josh becoming a freaking statistic when he tried a dating app and got assaulted
People were rightfully upset and vocal about it. And if that's not enough for you, what about the whole "forcing people to forgive their toxic parents" thing going on throughout the entire show?
Athena and her mother, Hen and her mother, Buck and his parents, Eddie and his parents, Chimney and his dad
When this stuff happened people were and still are very vocal and upset about redeeming shitty parents because the story said so. Hell, when the show first told us how shitty Buck and Maddie's parents were to Buck, people immediately went; "Fuck Margaret and Philip! Bobby and Athena are Buck's parents now!" And no one had a problem with that
If people really had a problem with Athena being considered Buck's mother because of racial portrayals they would've said so as far back as season 2 when Maddie got kidnapped and Athena had to keep an eye on Buck to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, arguably one of the first times she could be seen in a motherly light for him, and those people could have continued to be upset about it throughout the show whenever they had moments like that. But they didn't.
My question was, why is it now that the show's about to come back in, at the time of the original post it was a little under 2 weeks, were people deciding to get upset?
All that time, all those scenes, all those seasons, and not one person brought it up with it possibly being a problem. It's only now that the show's about to come back that it's suddenly an issue?
I call bullshit
Bonus:
Athena is never shown to be "eager and excited" to take care of Buck like a "mammy". She's always been shown as at least mildly annoyed but caring towards him
The closest I could possibly think of her acting like that is when she and Bobby have Buck over for dinner while he's off duty and trying to find a way back to work right before the lawsuit. Bobby comes clean about him being the reason Buck's not working and Athena is happily offering more food. But that's not being eager and excited, that's her knowing a storm is brewing and trying to deescalate the situation
That was at the beginning of season 3. We're about to start season 7.
So I'll ask again:
"Why are people SUDDENLY getting upset about Athena being considered Buck's mother?"
And I'll say this again:
"People just find reasons to be upset these days"
